Chitosan coated bentonite (CCB) was prepared by microwave irridiation, original bentonite as raw materials and chitosan as modifier. The adsorption performance in acid scarlet dye solution was discussed. Firstly the optimum adsorption conditions: concentration of chitosan of 35 g/L, bentonite quality and chitosan solution volume rate of 0.7(g/L), microwave time of 17 min, infilltration time of 50 min, deacetylation degree of chitosan of 85%, soil particle size of 15 mm, pH of 5, dosage of CCB of 20 g/g, stirring speed of 300 r/min, centrifugal time of 15 min, and stirring time of 35 min, were investigated by single factor experiment. And the maximum adsorption rate reached to 96.2%. Subsquently, all the effect tendencies of the physicochemical parameters of the preparation and adsorption were studied on the optium experimental condition, which would provide reference data for the subsequent pilot test. The results suggested that CCB was a promising sorbent to remove organic contaminants and might be utilized to purify water contaminated by organic compounds.

The properties of chitosan coatings on titanium surfaces may be influenced by a variety of factors, including their chemical characteristics and the deposition method. The aim of this research was to determine the influence of a chitosan’s origin (a type of shrimp) and deacetylation degree (DD), when deposited on a very smooth titanium surface, on adhesion and biological behavior. The tests were performed using chitosan of a degree of 87% or 84% of deacetylation and that originated from armor crabs or shrimp armor. The technology of fabrication of chitosan coatings was by surface polishing to a smooth surface, oxidation in air, and immersion in a chitosan solution. The surface topographies were analyzed with an atomic force microscope and their water contact angles were measured by a falling drop method with a goniometer. The bioactivity tests were done in in vitro on osteogenic cells, type MC3T3-E1, with a biological microscope. The abrasion of the coatings was examined using a nano tribotester. The obtained results revealed that the adhesion of the coatings onto a smooth, oxidized titanium surface is appropriate as they remain sufficiently adjacent to the surface after wear tests. The source of chitin has a significant influence on biological properties, and the deacetylation degree is much less critical. The performed tests demonstrated the crucial role that the source of chitosan and the applicability of the applied surface treatment play in the preparation of chitosan coatings.

The research discussed the possibility of adsorption of Brilliant Blue Dye (BBD) from wastewater using 13X zeolite adsorbent, which is considered a byproduct of the production process of potassium carbonate from Iraqi potash raw materials. The 13X zeolite adsorbent was prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction that showed a clear match with the standard 13X zeolite. The crystallinity rate was 82.15% and the crystal zeolite size was 5.29 nm. The surface area and pore volume of the obtained 13X zeolite were estimated. The prepared 13X zeolite showed the ability to remove BBD contaminant from wastewater at concentrations 5 to 50 ppm and the removal reached 96.60% at the lower pollutant concentration. Adsorption measurements versus time showed 48.18% removal of the dye during just the first half-hour and the maximum removal closest to the removal at the equilibrium after one and half hour. Langmuir isotherm was described the adsorption equilibrium data with a maximum adsorption capacity of 93.46 mg/g and the kinetics data of the adsorption process was followed the pseudo-second-order.

Background: The discharge of effluents from the textile and dyeing industries has been a worldwide concern. Although reduced graphene oxide/titanium dioxide (rGO/TiO2) nanocomposite is a potential candidate for wastewater treatment, the influence of graphene oxide (GO) content on its physico-chemical characteristics and its subsequent photocatalytic capabilities in degrading the organic contaminants has not been well established. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to assess the use of rGO/TiO2 nanocomposites with various GO contents for the removal of toxic methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solution. Method: In the present study, rGO/TiO2 nanocomposites were fabricated using various GO contents through a one-step solvothermal method. The effect of GO content on the nanocomposite formation was investigated by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The resulting nanocomposites were evaluated against MB degradation under artificial solar light illumination. Results: Based on the photocatalytic results, the highest removal percentage of MB was achieved by 0.15rGO/TiO2, which was about 1.7 times higher than that of 0.01rGO/TiO2. The enhanced removal efficiency of MB by the nanocomposite with the highest GO content (0.15 g) was attributed to the increased active adsorption sites, which greatly promoted the π- π interaction between the aromatic rings of MB dye and the graphitic skeleton of rGO, as well as the electrostatic interaction between the cationic center of MB molecules and the residual oxygen functionalities of rGO.

Shells, kernels, and other wastes have been investigated by researchers as potential adsorbents for a number of pollutants like methylene blue (MB), Remazol Rot RB, acid blue 80, acid blue 324, or as raw materials for the production of activated carbons and biochars to serve the same objective. Activated carbons formed by such wastes have been found to remove different heavy metals like uranium, arsenic, and cadmium while their biochars removed others like lead and copper. Furthermore, the production of these adsorbents can be combined with additional ways of valorization of this type of waste like bio-oil or bio-gas generation or even added-value materials extraction. In this work, conducted research on the ability of pistachio, pecan, cashew nut, and castor seed shells to selectively adsorb and thus remove pollutants from synthetic wastewaters is being shown. This type of research needs to be expanded in order to incorporate competitive adsorption, adsorbents regeneration, and recovery of adsorbates and to evaluate their performance with real wastewaters, before they find their way to large scale applications for the removal of the respective compounds from natural waters and wastewaters. An appropriate life cycle assessment is also necessary for the evaluation of the environmental benefits arising from their use.

Alginate has been widely used in the pharmaceutical industries as tablet binder and disintegrant, release agent and controlled release drug delivery system. Whereas in the food industries, alginate is generally employed as thickener, emulsifier, stabilizer, texturizer, formulation aid, firming agent, flavor adjuvant, and surface-active agent. As one of the important raw materials in the functional food preparation, iron is hard to manage due to its vulnerability to oxidization, degradation and possesses a strong unique aroma. Considering its superior coating and release properties, alginate gel can be the best choice to preserve iron from various undesirable effects. Unfortunately, there has been lack information in the published literature to estimate the effect of temperature, concentration, and stirring time on the mechanical properties of alginate. Although many mathematical models have been developed based on these factors to predict the viscosity of the alginate-Fe solutions used as feed in spray drying application, no clear information have been reported for their accuracy. This study aims to examine four physical models for their suitability in estimating alginate-Fe solution viscosity, namely the Walther, Mark Houwink, Vogel – Tamman – Fulcher (VTF), and Intrinsic models. Prior to model validation, alginate-Fe solutions containing alginate: Fe (2:1) mass ratio were prepared. They were heated to desirable temperatures (30°, 45°, 60°, and 75°C), stirred for various stirring times (0 to 60 minutes), and subjected to viscosity measurement. The results exhibited that the viscosity of alginate-Fe solution with 5% alginate concentration stirred for 15 minutes at 30°C reached 320 cP. Whereas the viscosity of Alginate-Fe solution with 1% (m/m) concentration at the same temperature and stirring time was only 250 cP. This observation suggested that a higher alginate solution concentration leads to a higher the viscosity. As expected, a higher temperature and longer stirring time resulted in the decline of the Alginate-Fe solution viscosity. Although the proposed models demonstrated the similar trend, it can be concluded that the Walther model was proven to be the most accurate model used for the prediction of the Alginate-Fe solution viscosity compared to the other models as shown by its highest R2 value, which was 0.987.
